Dr. Donna Williams of Morningside Dental Care uses Invisalign to discreetly straighten teeth for those who prefer this method. Clear, plastic trays are fitted to the teeth and gently move the teeth over time. Others looking at a person wearing the trays often do not notice the trays. For people who want straight teeth without a mouth full of metal, visiting a cosmetic dentist such as Dr. Williams may be an excellent alternative.

A patient who wants the procedure must first be evaluated by a cosmetic dentist to see if they are a good candidate, and then x-rays and impressions are taken. These impressions and x-rays are used to create a three dimensional image that gives Dr. Williams the ability to create an individualized treatment plan to move the teeth into place. Customized aligner trays are created for the patient and the process begins.

The trays are designed to be worn 24 hours a day with just a few exceptions. The trays may be taken out when a person eats and when the teeth and trays need to be cleaned. Every two weeks or so, the trays are replaced with a new set of trays that has been slightly altered to help guide teeth into place. The patient also visits the dentist every couple of months to evaluate the results and make adjustments to the treatment plan.

For most patients, the entire procedure takes a year on average, but will vary for each individual. The plastic trays are quite smooth and usually do not cause any irritation in the mouth. For additional information about the Invisalign procedure, visit nylasergumsurgery.com.
